PSD is considering an administrative reform that may merge around 1,700 communes and eliminate up to 18,000 local elected mandates after 2028. Dragoș Benea, the party's vice president, indicated that the proposal targets communes with fewer than 3,000 residents. Additionally, towns with under 10,000 residents could be merged or reclassified as communes. If implemented, this reform could significantly reduce the number of mayors, deputy mayors, and local councilors. Benea acknowledges that the plan may face resistance from mayors.
